I am 21 years old and have just completed my PPE degree at Corpus here in Oxford. I am entering the REES MPhil programme with the hope of eventually joining the French Foreign Affairs Ministry with expertise of the region. My research interests include US-USSR spying relations during the late Cold War period, as well as gender dynamics in the post-Soviet world, particularly the interaction between political violence (such as corruption) and interpersonal violence against women. I’m also French!
